Next weekend, StartUp Weekend is going to be held in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
From StartupWeekend:
Ever wondered what it takes to be an entrepreneur? The professional and personal challenges, the high and lows, the failures and the success? Startup Weekend is a global grassroots movement of active and empowered entrepreneurs who are learning the basics of founding startups and launching successful ventures. It is the largest community of passionate entrepreneurs with over 400 past events in 100 countries around the world in 2011.
If you’ve never been to a StartUp weekend,here’s how it works:
- Anyone is welcome to pitch their startup idea and receive feedback.
- After the best ideas are determined, teams are formed.
- The teams work on the biz model, coding, designing, and market validation.
The weekends culminate with presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders with another opportunity for critical feedback. Whether entrepreneurs found companies, find a co-founder, meet someone new, or learn a skill far outside their usual 9-to-5, everyone is guaranteed to leave the event better prepared to navigate the chaotic but fun world of startups.
